The second quarter continued with the same dynamic, with the two teams alternating at the top in a real rollercoaster of nerves and intensity. The score also remained tight until the break, with Básquet Girona in a slight lead (44-45), thanks to the great offensive performance of Howard and the good minutes of Juan Fernández, giving way to a second half that promised a great emotion

In the second half, however, Valencia Basket took control of the game thanks to a 26-15 run that allowed them to leave behind a Girona Básquet that could not recover in the electronic game. In the last period, the Alqueria team showed all its quality, winning the partial again (28-18), being able to run on the counterattack and being more successful in the triple. From Girona, the leadership of Juani Marcos and the interior contribution of James Nnaji also stood out.
